r/initiald

Does anyone know of any professional racers that openly admit to watching/enjoying initial D? It would be really cool if there were some real life pro's that got inspired by it or at least had a blast watching it

That moment Takumi cries

That was definitely the most gut wrenching moment in the franchise.

What was the most underrated car in initial D and why was it the motor swapped Levin?

If I recall correctly, the only supercharged car in the series?

Anyone else feel like this battle wasn’t realistic?

Nakazato had the home course advantage, and the horsepower advantage uphill, and the evo 4 is shown being able to smoke it. I’d assume the evo is lighter by a couple hundred pounds but damn, I never understood how it was such an easy race for team Emperor.

We lost another legend today 😔

Bill Wise, the voice of Knuckles, has passed away today at age 61.

Anime fans may also recognize him from roles like Bunta Fujiwara in Initial D Legend, Richard Guyot in Guyver, Hayato Jin in Getter Robo: Armageddon, and Rail Claymore in Lost Universe.

Outside of anime dubbing, Wise also worked as a live-action actor, writer, and producer, with credits including iZombie and Guyver.

In 2013, he won Best Writing at the New York Television Festival for his work on Disenchanted.

Rest in peace, legend 🙏

In my honest opinion, Sayuki is the most wasted potential character in Initial D

Even though, she did got screen time in first stage and both extra stages, I wish they did more with Sayuki. They could’ve easily do character development with her in the fifth stage. I think the Fifth Stage would’ve been SO much better if they have her with Takumi instead of Mika. I know Shuichi Shigeno never really do character usage but still, it would’ve been better just by that alone. Another thing he could’ve done is that after Impact Blue disbanded and Mako left to become a professional racer, Sayuki decided to make a name for herself as a lone street racer. My car pick for Sayuki is a Red Nissan Silvia S15. That’ll be badass for Sayuki! It is what it is and that’s just my opinion but what do you think? Which car do you think would be awesome for Sayuki.
